Twitter, having a base of 319 million users worldwide (according to the stats last month) is considering whether to build a premium version of its popular Tweetdeck interface. This version will be aimed particularly for professionals, marketers, journalists and others who want to find out what is happening in the world more quickly. This is more or less like Microsoft’s LinkedIn, that provides you greater access and data with subscription versions.

Twitter, which went public four years ago, reported the slowest growth revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016 as revenue from advertising has fell year-over-year, even though the web platform is quite popular with celebrities and the US President DOnald Trump.

Twitter is currently conducting a survey “to assess the interest in a new, more enhanced version of Tweetdeck”.
